Weekly “what are you reading” Thread #46

I'm reading Flying Blind by Peter Robison. It basically traces Boeing from its birth to 2021, specifically trying to trace exactly how the internal culture shifted from emphasizing engineering excellence to emphasizing cash and shareholder value. Then connecting those changes directly to the 737 Max MCAS crashes.

Pros: Detailed, but does a good job breaking down technical issues for laymen

Cons: The amount of names and rotating top dogs can be difficult to keep track of. That's more of a ‘me' problem though.

Whatever: It's easy to tell the writers politics, which I hate being able to do in non-fiction. I don't think it hurts the overall value of this well researched book however.

Verdict: So far a recommended read from me, at about halfway through

I might try to make an effort post when I'm done reading, although I'm so darn busy to do anything except do some minor shitposting these days I dunno
